Ep8: The Barrier Reef You Haven't Heard Of

Episode 8: Sailing Louisiades, Papua New Guinea This episode we take advantage of the weather and sail out to the Barrier, a remote and rarely visited reef system that surrounds the Louisiades and separates the lagoon from the open ocean. The abundance of life is mind blowing. We dive with turtles, sharks, eagle rays and what i would describe as a stampede of surgeon fish, more schooling together then I have ever seen before. I free dive through channels running underneath the diverse display of coral species. We return to the islands with more then our fair share for the upcoming village feast. 0:00 - Sailing to the Barrier Reef 1:25 - Intro video 1:53 - Our location at the Barrier 2:43 - First Dive on the Reef 4:12 - How to Pickle Vegetables 5:30- Epic Drone Flyover of the Reef 5:52: Second Dive with Pretty Spectacular Sea Creatures 7:20 - How We Collect Rainwater on the Boat (Boat Life Tips) 9:13 -Spearfishing Adventures: Fish Swarms, Coral Tunnels & Trout Galore 12:26 - Our Biggest Catch of the Day Yet!
